New York City's very finest riding in grand style

In celebration of achievements past, present and future, we humbly request your presence for Bow Ties and Crumpets, The Big Apple Tweed Spring social event. Hosted in an intimate space at the ThePennyFarthing, 103 3rd Ave, New York, NY on Sunday, June 12, 2011, we will begin making merry from 6pm and will bid all farewell at 10pm.

At 7:30pm in the early evening, Harris Tweed will honor us by presenting a 20 minute screening of “From the Land Comes the Cloth” – a tale of how love is spun into thread by the islanders of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barraa, to create the cloth that is certified with the Harris Tweed orb. A live Jazz performance will then commence as we hobnob with friends old and new.

As always, be appropriately clothed in your Spring’s very best! This season’s gear includes Tweed accent fabrics: linen, cotton, and seersucker, to name a few. Although your Tweed garments and fine steeds are not going to be showcased at this event, please make sure they are groomed and ready for our much anticipated Fall ride.

In true BAT fashion, our most distinguished guests will be rewarded:

Grand Prize Raffle

Most Tweed Spirited Lad or Lass

Most Breath-Taking Accessory

And with that we say Excelsior……………………………..!

Space is limited, so RSVP no later than 5 P.M. on June 10, 2011.$10 dollar suggested contribution.

BIG APPLE TWEED

A Tweed Ride is a group bicycle ride through a defined route, in which the cyclists are expected to dress in traditional British cycling or vintage attire, particularly tweed. Any bicycle is acceptable on the Tweed Ride, but classic vintage bicycles are encouraged. Some effort to recreate the spirit of a bygone era is always appreciated --- via Wikipedia

A portion of all proceeds from the Big Apple Tweed Rides benefit charity.
